Russian chemists discover revolution: synthetic rubber now produced with explosions
The Nizhnekamsk chemical plant proves that Russian production methods are as unpredictable as Liepāja ice hall's heating system in the middle of winter.
Russia's chemical giant "Sibur" plant in Nizhnekamsk today demonstrated a revolutionary approach to synthetic rubber production, using a new technology that could be called the explosion method. Two workers paid with their lives for this unexpected innovation, while dozens of others received a free adrenaline dose.
While hockey players at Liepāja ice hall try to create heat in the cold arena with sticks and pucks, Russian chemists have chosen a much more efficient method — simply blow up all the equipment. According to the company's announcement, the explosion resulted from equipment malfunctions, which in Russian apparently means a normal work day.
"Sibur" representatives rush to reassure the public that the air is safe to breathe and no dangerous substances have leaked. True, the same company apparently also thought before the explosion that their equipment was operating normally. The local mayor reported that windows were blown out in the city, which by Russian standards is considered a successful end to the day.
Nizhnekamsk residents can now boast that they live in a city where synthetic rubber is produced with as much enthusiasm as hockey in Liepāja — with explosions, noise and unexpected results. The only difference is that our hockey players at least all go home healthy after the game.
